[QUOTE="Hank77, post: 76307216, member: 378311"] [I]“It is a piece of public art. It is under our jurisdiction. And we need to be thoughtful about where it should go,” said board president Signe Nielson. A group of historians including Sean Wilentz, author of books including “No Property in Man: Slavery and Antislavery at the Nation’s Founding,” argued in a letter to the Public Design Commission that the statue should be moved to the Governor's Room in City Hall, its original home. The statue has been in the City Council chamber since 1915. “Locating the statue for viewing in the Governor’s Room, [B]where it was originally placed and apparently stood for much of its history[/B], would be the most reasonable compromise,” the historians wrote.[/I] Sounds like a good plan to me.
